Yet still, in 2 short months he has proven to be 10x the leader than Bush was.

Give it all time to play out. You will see. If in a few years time, this all turns out bad, then you have every right to bitch... Until then, sit down.

My guess is Pelosi. Obama just signed the stimulus so that was not much work.

Please, please republicans get your shit together in the next 3 years.

OK...so lets see how your incredibly stoopid post stacks up----

Schadenfroh states-- I applaud Obama for capitalizing on his popularity via this book deal. I would do it as well given the same position, considering the deal was completed prior to taking office.

Brainonska511 states--What's wrong with an ESPN bracket? Is the president supposed to work like a slave 24/7 and have no life outside of the oval office?

As for the "campaigning" issue, he's trying to sell his ideas to the people, just like Bush tried to with the whole privatizing SS.

miketheidiot states---stupid people posting threads gg

CitizenKain states--You guys are so incredibly desperate.

BudAshes states-- bush spent 4 of his 8 years on vacation. Obama probably feels like hes working hard compared to the man who preceded him.

This is so very true.

/i'd laugh if it wasn't so sad...
//oh, what the hell......
///i'll laugh anyway hahahhahahahahhaha!!!!!!!!!

retrospooty states---Who is running the country? Ever hear of multitasking? What a whiney loser... Are you seriously gonna sit there and nitpick every little thing like this for the next 4 years? Is the 10 minutes he spent on ESPN will affect anything? When is the last time you didnt have a 10 minute off topic concersation while at work? Should they fire you if you do? O just bitch about it?

You seriously need to get a life and a clue while you're at it.

alien42 states---if you(talking about rudder) are any indication of republicans as a whole, they are screwed.

hahahahaahahhhahaahhahahahaha thanks for the laugh.

blahblah99 states --The republican honeymoon is over, and they aren't getting a vacation for the next decade, unless you count being out of office as a vacation.

eskimospy states---Good job on writing something dumb.

retrospooty states---Yet still, in 2 short months he has proven to be 10x the leader than Bush was.

Give it all time to play out. You will see. If in a few years time, this all turns out bad, then you have every right to bitch... Until then, sit down.

jpeyton states ---x10 ........It's pathetic, but expected.

Jedi_Yoda states---I always love it when the OP does the self ownage thing!!

First of all, no recession will ever hurt anybody in a office like that. How do you think they got there??? They have lots of money. Bush wouldn't feel the recession either. Also props to not mentioning Bush spending his whole Presidency on vacation.

A profitable 2008 for Obama

From CNN Ticker Producer Alexander Mooney


Obama raked in $2.5 million in book royalties during 2008.
(CNN) ? As he campaigned for the White House in 2008, President Obama raked in millions of dollars in book royalties, according to recently filed Senate disclosure forms.

The president earned close to $2.5 million last year from royalties from 2006's The Audacity of Hope and 1995's Dreams from My Father, according to his Senate disclosure forms, filed with the Secretary of Senate's office earlier this week.

The Audacity of Hope ? first published in paperback last summer ? earned him $1,512,933, while Dreams of My Father earned $950,000.

An attachment to the disclosure form also reveals Obama agreed to a $500,000 advance days before his inauguration for an abridged version of Dreams from My Father "suitable for middle grade or young adult readers."

The president has also agreed to pen a non-fiction book for the Crown Publishing Group after he leaves office. A dollar figure on that advance has not been worked out.

Face it, you are just not use to a President who can multitask.

Receiving a hummer from you and several other libs at the same time is not multitasking.

Dude this topic isn't about your homoerotic fantasies.

Well being President really isn't a 9-5 job.

No, he's going to cap YOUR pay. I think Stalin lived in luxury, why shouldn't he?

And who is exactly running the country?

Various underlings in the administration plus Congress.

rebublicans aren't screwed because of the people that believe in them, they're screwed because more and more Americans are lazy SOB's that would rather be spoon fed everything and are content with letting the government run their lives because they are to busy watching American Idol.

Bush spent 879 days of his presidency at the ranch in Texas - the ranch he bought after he decided to run for President - I'll do the math for you since you seem to be intellectually impaired - that's approx 30% of his presidency.

Despite that - you are complaining about Obama filling out an NCAA bracket, or actually speaking to people around the country - gasp - in person?

Imagine this - the first black man elected president was offered money for a book deal? OMGWTFBBQ!?!?

Jaskalas - who was president in 2008?

So, let me get this right. You have not found any real thing wrong. You most likely would bitch about anyone in office and you are repeating campaign rhetoric that didn't work against Obama, for what purpose?

And the guy above you has something against Obama having a little bit of fun? Btw, leaders and especially their wives are expected to entertain. Matter of fact, I think Lady Bush(II) did a better job of it than her husband did leading the country.

Can't we wait to see how his bracket predictions turn out before we criticise him?
